Tat-tat-Tattooluum with Victor Puga

Tattuluum has all been a-buzz with guest artists. We still have Martin Avila with us and now we have Victor Puga from Cancun. Puga is an old friend of the family and has grown up with art very similar. Puga gave several of his first tattoos as well as a cover of his very first...which we won't talk about..haha!

Tattooluum is exploding with excitement even though the season is slow. Lots of inquiries and two to three machines going at once. Its a wonderful sound to hear and see the artists working in tandem spreading the Tattooluum talent and reputation.

Even is getting to look more like a tattoo artist actually getting some ink on him!

Tattooluum..adapting to the seasonal changes

We sadly say a farewell to Robert Foltyn and thank him for all that he showed us in techniques for both tattoos and life.....thank you Robert!

We are at the precipice of "dead" season which I hate the name of. We are transforming from slow to dead but seems a bit harsh this description. The main theory is to change your words and thoughts so here I go. Okay slow season is acceptable but not dead season. We are not going to die although the traffic in the streets have. This is a time to shore up our energy and pinpoint our focus. This is a time to really decide which is most important to buy to use our energy and money (a form of energy) to its very best use. Being in this small town you learn to adapt to the seasons. Maybe it should be called..adaptation season. Its also nice when the whole town comes together to help each other out. We all understand the seasonal influence and locals help others out with delayed payment dates payments..too bad big companies like the light and water company do not do that..;-)

So lets flip our thoughts and think of this as a time to cut away the unnecessary. Lets focus our thoughts like a laser to manifest the abundance that is still there but just commanding us to command it more. And when we ask for something for ourselves lets ask it for everyone else too. I read this the other day and imagine if you had 6 billion people asking for something for you. So if we widen our scope to healing the planet and if the planet asks for our healing boy will we feel great!!!

So thank you for the slow and adaptation season to show us what is truly important in our lives and to focus on what we really need not just excess of wants. Its fine to want things when the abundance is there. But isn't it always there? Its just disguised as lessons such as adaptation season....ah the lessons of life. Just remember that abundance is always there...there is enough for everyone to be rich. The birds do not wake up being afraid of having abundance. So lets dance to the dance of abunDANCE! As we connect with it is will bless us infinitely...love and light to all!
